Friends For Life

I wander here now on a busy but lonely street

While my heart thumps with a not so new beat

My eyes search and find things that I need not

How do I tell you’O my friend I miss you a lot!’

Ah!From dusk to dawn what nostalgia strikes

Through the wild those dozen treks and hikes

Those ghost stories to each other that we told

And the winds that hugged us together in cold

Cricket in pitch dark,not mornings we played

For on each night out hours awake we stayed

Scooty rides and treats that nobody calls food

No roads of our town that we left for any good

All the bonus birthday bumps,cheer and shout

A silly joke till this day that we can laugh about

Each treasure like these that binds us in knots

Are clicked and captured in million snapshots

When I see them,I know you are still the same

Wish we freeze our times more than in a frame

For now separating us are the ocean and skies

To meet you,my best friend are my silent cries

We shall for life,not if soon tread hand in hand

Remember no friend is left forever in an island

Come lets create the future like our past again

If not for us,for the friendship that will remain

PS1: Dear boys in this picture,I know this is some heavy stuff for you.This poem is my little gift to you.This picture is one of my favorites just like you.I know you are not the kind of friends who wear their hearts on their sleeves and talk often.Time,place and people that surround all of us are now different.Having watched you for all these years as a common friend this is what I have deciphered-you guys are friends for life!I know this poem is just like a grain on the shore:)I just hope that you,my gubachis like it:)You can dedicate the poem to each other,let me know who wants to first!
